Mice were scored daily on a scale of 0–5 with: 0, no disease; 1: loss of tail tone; 2: hindlimb weakness; 3: hindlimb paralysis; 4: forelimb weakness or paralysis and hindlimb paralysis; 5: moribund or dead. 𝑃 values for EAE mean high score and disease duration were determined by the Mann-Whitney test.
